Objectives: Cervical disc arthroplasty is intended to address cervical radiculopathy and preserve functional motion between two vertebral bodies in patients with cervical degenerative disease. The study aims to evaluate the radiological, clinical efficacy and safety of a compressible cervical disc prosthesis.

Methods: The study was designed as an observational non-randomised case series based in two centres. Outcome measures employed included Neck Disability Index (NDI), Visual Analogue Score (VAS) for neck and arm pain and Euro Quality of Life -5D survey. Surgically treated level and global range of movement, heterotopic ossification, adjacent level disease, re-intervention rate and safety profile were assessed. Pre-operative clinical and radiological assessment, post operative outpatient and questionnaire based follow up, radiological follow up at 6, 12, 24 months and at time of study were employed.
